Chapter Ninety-Six: Wind and Snow Wine
The civil official threw down the letter and turned to leave, the sound of gold and iron grinding sounded piercingly, and Duoduo drew the steel knife at his waist and was about to chase after him and kill him, but Dolgon stretched out his hand to stop it, "The two countries are at war!" ”
Dolgon specially bites the sound of the word "country" very hard, many of the people here are from Han people, and Dolgon's words are also spoken in Chinese, and its meaning is self-evident.
"I'm afraid that Mingguo's move is fake, but the delay is real!"
The one who spoke was the Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Baiyin Diagram, the original white skin had been covered with sideburns due to the days of battle, and a pair of eyes were shining, and it looked even more brave.
"Why don't we plan and raid the Ming army outside the city on the day of the banquet, and the Han army banner will continue to attack the city, and the Ming Kingdom will be difficult to deal with!"
Dolgon clapped his hands and praised: "What a plan to strengthen the mountain! ”
This time he destroyed the pass and attacked the Ming Kingdom, and the major generals of the two yellow flags violated Yang Feng Yin and Yin, and they did not hold him back. There is a big reason for the continuous unhappiness of the war is the internal disharmony of the guide, this time Bai Yintu took the initiative to attack the Ming army together, so that Dolgon was very moved, and now all the ministries are sincerely cooperating, all saying that the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and there are 10,000 invincible, and there is a battle that cannot be won? Everyone suggested and agreed with the suggestion of Baiyintu, and even Duoduo thought it was a brilliant strategy.
Dorgon pressed down with both hands to signal for silence.
"Everyone, listen to Dorgon!"
……
In the cabinet hall of the Forbidden City, since Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, went south, the cabinet has basically been dominated by Yang Sichang. The charcoal brazier in the house crackled, and Yang Sichang had just sent people away, because an extremely important person was about to come to discuss with him a matter of great importance, which was related to the life and death of his Yang Sichang.
After a while, the door of the main hall of the cabinet was pushed open from the outside with a creak, and a cold wind mixed with white snow flakes rolled into the house, and the person who came in with a white face did not need to be about fifty years old, obviously a eunuch, Yang Sichang hurriedly got up and gave his hand.
"Gao Gong, is there any news?"
The eunuch entered the room and dusted off the snow flakes on his body, sat down at the table by the wall, and said in a sharp voice: "Quickly give our family a bowl of water to drink, and wait for long live all the way, and now I don't even care about saliva......"
Yang Sichang hurriedly lifted the teapot that had just been filled with hot water, poured a bowl of tea slowly, and handed it to the eunuch's table. The man was not polite, picked up the tea bowl and blew a few sips, then impatiently poured two sips, but the water was too hot and he grinned.
"Gao Gong don't be in a hurry, slow down ......" Yang Sichang whispered on the side, as if the two of them had been old for many years.
The eunuch put down the bowl and said slowly: "Long live, although I didn't say it, I don't like that martial artist in my heart!" ”
"How so?"
Yang Sichang sat across from the eunuch and asked.
"How so?" The eunuch snorted two strange laughs, "Just rely on our family's intuition to serve Banzai for so many years!" With that, he waved his hand and motioned for Yang Sichang to come closer.
Yang Sichang got up and came to the eunuch's side.
"Long live the intention to let Yang Xiang personally sacrifice the prisoner, Yang Xiang must be mentally prepared!"
"This, this is not good......"
It is everyone's wish to make immortal feats, but to rob Li Xin's credit so blatantly, he asked himself that it was difficult to be thick-skinned.
The eunuch said: "The will will come down today, Yang Xiang can't refuse, let's think about how to deal with it!" ”
The glory of capturing the crown prince of the enemy country is wanted by the world, but if he snatches it so hard, it is too ugly to eat, and it is not good for his reputation. The matter of sacrificing prisoners is secondary, and he has more important things to gain Gao Shiming's support. Although Gao Shiming is only one of the many eunuchs who are the master of ceremonies, he is the most favored eunuch by the emperor in recent years, and there is no one. Even Cao Huachun, the big celebrity next to the former emperor, is declining, and the current celebrant is Gao Shiming.
"The matter of commanding the army, please ask Gao Gong to speak well in front of Long live."
Gao Shiming raised his eyebrows, there is no trivial matter in commanding the army, Yang Sichang doesn't want to do it, he should clearly refuse on the spot, what's the matter now? Want to regret it and let our family go to the tiger beard? He wanted to see what kind of medicine Yang Sichang sold in the gourd, but he still agreed to it.
"Yang Xiangdan said, as long as you don't provoke Banzai to be angry, it's easy to say!"
"Although Yang is good at generals, he is not good at generals, and he doesn't say secret words in front of Gao Gong, and leading soldiers is not Yang's strength, so he ......"
Gao Shiming is so smart.
"So, Yang Xiang wants a general who can general?"
Gao Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not an errand to shirk the army, it was easy to say.
"Does Yang Xiang have a preferred candidate?"
"Gaoyang Li Xin!"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Shiming was stunned for a long time before he laughed twice, tapped his fingers on the desktop and said:
"What a scapegoat that Yang Xiang is looking for!"
Taking the initiative to attack the Tartars is to find death, Gao Shiming is also quite familiar with military affairs, and how can he not see it, the position of this scapegoat is simply tailor-made for Li Xin.
Yang Sichang laughed dryly twice, and retorted: "No, no, no, Gao Gong misunderstood Yang, and used Li Xin's generals, first, the soldiers and generals are familiar with each other, and the other is to show justice, not Yang Mou is plotting to seize his military power!" The emperor recently issued an order for Li Xin to stay in Beijing for use, so he still has to bother Gao Gong......"
Gao Shiming waved his hand and got up from the chair, "This matter is wrapped up in our family, if there is nothing else, our family will go back to the palace first, those rabbit cubs don't have eyesight, and it will be bad to make Banzai angry." Having said that, he didn't want people with a heart to make a big fuss about his sedentary entry into the cabinet, and he quickly left this place after talking about business, but fortunately the snow was falling heavier and heavier outside, and as soon as he went out, he was afraid that he would not be able to tell who was who.
Yang Sichang hurriedly got up and sent him outside the door. Gao Shiming said politely: "Yang Xiang, let's go back, it's cold outside." After that, he stepped on the snow and ran to the Wenhua Gate.
……
South of East Chang'an Street, Taiji Factory, this place was the site for processing raw materials when the Forbidden City was built. Although the Forbidden City has been built for hundreds of years, countless piles of stone and wood are still stacked. Nowadays, there are many courtyards around the huge yard, all of which are government-built houses, one to house the craftsmen who maintain the imperial city, and the other to take care of the material yard nearby.
Li Xin was left in Beijing by the emperor to listen to it, so he was temporarily placed here, and had a small courtyard, Cao Huachun originally sent two little eunuchs to take care of his daily life, and he was also sent away. The military power has been paid, and although the soldiers outside are pressing, they have nothing to do with him Li Xin.
Li Xin forced himself to accept this rare comfort, in the middle of the room, the charcoal brazier crackled, and he suddenly felt hungry in his stomach when he sat alone in front of the couch, and immediately regretted sending the two little eunuchs who were serving people away. However, it is really awkward to face the two eunuchs who are not below.
The black cloth bag on the couch attracted Li Xin's attention, he came with no long things, let alone no cloth bag, picked up heavy, opened to see that it was two ingots of silver and a waist card, with his hand to weigh it is not light, but this waist card does not know what to do. In the heart, Cao Huachun can also be regarded as a person with a heart, and he is a little more humane than the mean and unkind Emperor Chongzhen. During the war, I don't know if there are any restaurants open in the inner city. After thinking about it, the handyman should also deliver food, so let's wait, in case I go out and cause trouble that shouldn't be provoked.
After standing up for a long time, the handyman who said that he had not yet come to deliver the meal, Li Xinshi was hungry, and decided to go out to find food, and put on the fur fur that Cao Huachun gave him, and caught a glimpse of the goose knife at the door, so he lifted it up and pinned it to his waist, and as soon as the door opened, the biting cold wind immediately rolled into the house with a little snow white, he subconsciously wrapped the fur fur tightly, and stepped out of the door.
But seeing the fluttering in the sky, the whole world became gray, and the Taiji factory was quiet without a trace of human voice. Out of the base factory to the east is Chongwen Menli Street, to the south of the city wall under the root of the Dongjiang Rice Lane, although now the nationality is unknown, but three hundred years later is the famous Dongjiaomin Lane.
Why don't you go to the alley to see if there is a restaurant restaurant that opens its doors to welcome guests, Li Xin wanted to lead the horse out to walk, but the wind and snow were too big, and the door of the stable had been blocked by snow, so he had no choice but to walk on foot.
Li Xin didn't know that Dongjiang Rice Lane was not the original place where the grain entered the customs, and the western section of the alley was equipped with official offices such as the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and Siyi Pavilion.
Li Xin, who was greatly disappointed, saw all the closed government offices or local guild halls. But there are no absolutes in the world, he stepped on the alley and went straight east to the direction of Chongwenmenli Street, and the aroma of stewed meat was faintly heard in the snow.
Li Xin followed the aroma and chased it down, and finally stopped in front of a half-hidden door along the street, and it was from here that the aroma came. He raised his hand and hesitated, but knocked it down heavily. But the door creaked open, and this time it almost knocked on the face of the man who opened the door.
The person who opened the door was dressed in a green robe, and he was a well-mannered scholar, and he was also startled when he saw Li Xinzheng knocking on his face, and he caught a glimpse of the Yanling knife on his waist and couldn't help asking:
"I don't know who the strong man is looking for?"
Li Xin smiled awkwardly.
"I'm ashamed to say that a certain line came here and was very hungry, and when I smelled the smell of meat, I looked for it all the way, wanting to beg for some ......."
When he saw that the other party was dressed as a scholar, he didn't dare to talk about money rashly, for fear of offending others. The man smiled, "The little brother is drinking alone is boring and tight, if the strong man doesn't dislike it, how about coming into the house to drink together?" ”
Li Xin clenched his fists and arched his hands.
"I can't ask for it!"
The layout of the house is not large, but it is unique, and the utensils are all lacquered wood carvings, which is obviously not something that ordinary people can afford. There was a copper pot sitting on the charcoal stove in the center, and the pot was steaming hot, and Li Xin's saliva surged.
The scholar took the utensils, and asked Li Xin to take it himself, and he smiled.
"Little brother, this pot of venison is really fateful, and he has to enter the temple of the five organs of the strong man."
Li Xin was surprised, he originally thought it was beef, but he didn't expect it to be venison, it seems that this scholar is not ordinary, and ordinary people definitely can't afford to eat it. Just as he was about to start, the door of the house was kicked open, and the cold wind swept in like knives with goose feathers and snowflakes.
